Now, four magnified frames of the 16 mm footage show tracings of a bell-shaped fastener at Bigfoot's waist and after decades of doubt, some enthusiasts say the creature in the so-called Patterson-Gimlin Film can finally be dismissed as a man in a monkey suit.

LEE TOWNSHIP, MI — One of three Midland County-based encounters documented in a Bigfoot website details a 10-year-old boy’s two meetings with a “hairy brown man-like creature.”

The second encounter detailed on the site was reported by a 10-year-old boy who claims to have seen Bigfoot twice in September 1977 in Lee Township, south of M-20.

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization: My Aunt, my cousin and myself were out in the woods behind my Grandmas house. We had been working on building a cabin all summer, just for fun. We would often pack a picnic lunch and spend the day out in the woods. I heard a noise, like snapping twigs, I turned around and saw in the distance a glimpse of a figure running that appeared light brown in color.

At first, the witness thought the figure was a cousin, but an encounter the following weekend changed the person’s mind, the report reads.

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization: The following weekend, my Aunt, two of my cousins and myself were working on the cabin, we ate lunch and then my cousins and I walked up the trail and down an incline to play on the huge grapevines that we like to climb on. I looked up and saw a hairy brown man like creature sitting up against the fence post. He was sitting on his behind with his legs bent up and his arms were wrapped around his legs. He was just looking at us. I screamed, my cousin looked over and we ran with my other cousin who is younger than us, she did not see what we saw. I looked back once and the creature was standing in an upright position.

The witness claims the family members were “too scared to look back” and were unsure what happened next to the creature, the report reads.

“To this day the cabin is not finished,” the report reads. “We have all been too scared to go back.”
